1997, James Gardiner, Who's a pretty boy then?, page 123:
Well, she schlumphed her Vera down the screech at a rate of knots, zhooshed up the riah, checked the slap in the mirror behind the bar, straightened up one ogle fake riah that had come adrift, and bold as brassorderlied over as fast as she could manage in those bats and, in her best lips, asked, if she could parker the omi a bevvy.
1997, Anna Livia, Kira Hall, Queerly Phrased: Language, Gender, and Sexuality, page 91:
He had become, through the use of Polari in an irreligious manner, the site of the sacred and the profane. This was furthered by the Crowning of the Saint [Derek Jarman] with "a bona helmet on his riah" and a necklace made of cock-rings and pornographic pictures.
2004, Paul Baker, Polari - The Lost Language of Gay Men, page 90:
Sandy: Yeah, we'll be out as soon as Jule's finished doing his riah. Takes him hours combing it so the join don't show.
Julian: Traitor! Traitor! You swore you'd never mention it.

Holy Land paid a team of lobbyists between $10000 and $30000 to push the legislation through, according to lobbyists' records. I'm sure an adults-only version of this could be set up. That scene with Samson and Delilah where she lops his riah off.
2012, Caitlin Moran, How to Be a Woman
[…] who can't believe she wasted 20 minutes, and a lot of upper-arm strength, zazzing her riah for any event less momentous than publicly announcing her engagement to Kiefer Sutherland at Cannes.
